they wanted to protect.
They are the generals who admir-
ed the way Hitler defied the French
and British and got away with it.
These are the men—absentee land-
lords, industrial magnates and re-
vengeful Riesehswehr officers — who,
Making shelter from Himmler and his
Gestapo agents behind Hermann
Goering's ample form, are likely to
send furtive offers to Washington,
Moscow and London.
Sometimes they' may even have
been encouraged by (Hitler and .Him -
miler. Had Winston Churchill not •so
bluntly proclaimed alliance with the
Soviet Union. the very day that coun-
try was attacked, the Germans might
effectively have played up the idea Of
an Anglo -German agreement in order
to crush the menace ,of Communism.
That weapon has been turned against
them. They have both the Anglo -
Soviet treaty of mutual assistance and
the widespread demand in Britain for
a second front to remind them that
the .citizens of the United Nations are
not so naive as those of the Third
Reich. °. f
- German broadcasts to Britain and
the United States, on one hand, and
to Ru sia on the Other, still give daily
proof -'at the hope of dividing the
Unite Nations has not yet been
abandoned. Even in broadcasts to
(Britain' there are some programs to
Christian communities harping on the
lack of religion in Russia. Other pro-
grames to workers harp o$ the wick-
ed dislike of the Russians allegedly
to •be found among the British capi-
talists. Such broadcasts are obvious
endeavors to 'persuade the- British and
Russians that each is planning a sep-
arate peace.
As for relations between the Unit-
ed States and the British Common-
wealth, one could not count the num-
ber of broadcasts warning the one of
the anti-imperialist designs of the
other. Americans are told that Roose-
velt is Churchill's lackey and that
they are fighting to save the decadent
British Empire. Englishmen are told
that 'Chur'chill flies to Washington to
take orders and that taking over nav-
al bases was only the first tentative
U.S. step to swallowing up the Brit-
ish Empire.
•The U.S. State Department's deci-
sion to accord full military support to
De Gaulle comes only just in time to
check 'a nasty campaign inr:which the
British would be portrayed as the de-
voted adherents of a general in bit-
ter struggle against the Americans,
who, in turn, would be portrayed as
the greatest buddies of Pierre Laval.
All such attempts to foment disun-
ion among members of the United Na-
tions are, of, course, encouraged by
leaders of both 'political wings of the
Nazi movement. This specious prop-
, aganda cannot actually be included in
the• category of peace offers, but it is
designed..to prepare the ground so
that subsequent peace offers may
flourish. -
Peace offers cannot be expected to
flourish vigorously for a. while yet.
•Thingsare going too well for Get -
many for the Goering group to do
more than prepare an insurance pol-
icy against the day when things go
badly. One or two respectable repub-
licans in exile are said to have been
asked more discreetly under what
conditions they would agree to re-
turn to the Reich and play a part in
convincing the United Nations that,
Hitler and his gang having been over-
thrown, we could -all go into 'a huddle
and negotiate a nice friendly peace.
As far as one can see, there won't
be much tendency in the United Na-
tions to distinguish "''between the
'"Goering ' group" and the "Hitler
group." Peace offers, ,however pre-
cise or, however tempting, won't pre-
vent the final complete defeat of. the
German Wehrmacht.
There must be no future opportun-
ity for, some new Hitler to claim
against all the evidence •of history
that the 'German army wasn't defeat-
ed, but was stabbed in the back. •

As a Royal Canadian Navy ship -of -war pulls away from the dock, officers of the Army and the
Navy stand at tre. rail. Here is symbolized the co-operation between two services which enables swift
movement of military forces On Canada's coastlines tq shore .positions, ,inaccessible by other means of
transportation. Between all three of the armed services there is a high degree of co-ordination in de-
fence,, combining in a never -faltering vigil prepared to meet the enemyfrom any angle of approach to
Canada. o
Will U -Boats Land In
nada (By B.T.R., in Winnipeg Free
Press) .
Up to the present there have been
no landings of U-boat crews on Cana-
dian territory, to the best knowledge
of Canadian authorities. Hon. Angus
Macdonald made this clear at a press
conference the other day, going to
some lengths to explain the situation.
There arethree main reasons why a
U-boat captain would be unlikely to
land men on the Canadian coast, and
only one good reason why he might.
To say that there have been rum-
ors, especially in the Gaspe peninsula
area, of U-boat landings is an under-
statement. There .have been the wild-
est stories of this kind, circulating
through the parishes of rural Quebec.
It is recalled that a secret session of
the House of Commons was held chief-
ly at the "instance of the Gaspe M.P.,
J. S. Roy, who said he' had informa-
tion to lay before the members priv-
ately. According to these rumors,.
German submarines have been land-
ing men along the Canadian coast,
buying provisions, obtaining fuel and
mixing with the populace to pick up
information.
Here are the three reasons why
these rumors are bosh:
1. U-boats" can easily leave Nazi
bases in Europe, cruise to Canadian
and American waters for weeks
and return without taking on fresh
provisions or fuel. German subs of
modern type have a range of 12,-
000 td..15,000 miles or more.
2. Such landing, i f unnecessary, in-
volves suoh grave risks for the U-
boat, that its captain would be a
fool to try... it, , -If he launches a
boat and sends men ashore need-
lessly,he runs the risk of losing
the men,. of having his. submarine
discovered, and, if his men are cap-
tured, •our own navy would probab-
ly discover from them all the lat-
est details of secret submarine de-
vices used by the 'Germans:
3. The closest check by the navy,
the R.C.M.P. and the Quebec _pro-
vincial police have so far found no
basis for stories of this kind.
•These are the facts, and they pro-
vide a test for the honest individual
whether he wishes to believe thebest
information of his own Government,
or the wild stories possibly inspired
by enemy agents.
But there lea one possible reason
why a U-boat captain Might run the
heavy risk of ,putting men ashore.
That reason is sabotage. The case of
the eight saboteurs in the U.S.A. is
easily recalled. But inquiries in Ot-
tawa show that nothing in the discov-
ered plans of these saboteurs related
in any degree to Canada. The point
seems to be that the United States
offd`l•'s such a lush field for sabotage,
that the Germans had not decided to
try anything of the kind in Canada.
Still the... Canadian security system,
under the R.C.M.P, and other police
forces, is maintaining a strict watch.
which U-boat was involved. It might
undertake to get assistance to a .dis-
abled submarine that had got away to
hide. If the submarine was lost, it
might immediately send another to
take up its work of preying on ship-
ping. If Canada described how it at-
tacked a U-boat such information
would be valuable to other U-boats.
It is possible, for instance, that Ger-
many loses U-boats because of sabot-
age in German ports and U-boat fac-
tories. It is toour interest to keep
that dark and• let such sabotage go
on. Further, if a U-boat is attacked
andi sunk or captured because of
some structural defect making it dif-
ficult for it to defend itself, it is to
our interest to allow the Germans to
go on making their Uhoats without
improvements as, long as possible.
As noted in the history of the last
war, the first big crack in German
morale came in the H -boat service.
The cloak of secrecy maintained by
the Allies over the fate of U-boats
therefore represents a real weapon
against Germany in this war.
Germany is still building many sub-
marines. Its losses have not been an-
nounced. A recent British film ou
the 'blockade suggests that at least
40 U-boats have been lost in this war,
but this figure is probably conserva-
tive. The main point now is that
while Germany can build submarines
it will find greater difficulty in train-
ing crews., One man 'in a U-boat seiz-
ed by' panic is likely to be the poison
that destroys the whole efficiency of
the boat. But there is no known evi-
dence yet of a break-up in U-boat
morale. The only thing the Allies
may' be sure of, is that Germany has
lost many good U-boat crews, A par-
allel may, beseenin the Nazi drive
through the Caucasus. Germany may
get • the oil there, but she will lose,
and has lost, thousands of "tank
crews and aircraft .crews that in skill
and courage will be difficult to re-
place.: That is -the factor ,in warfare
known as attrition. '
A recent broadcast given by a U-
boat captain from Germany, claiming
to have sunk 21,000 tons of shipping
in the St. Lawrence, to have watched
lights of motor cars on the shore.
road's and observed the lights' of town,
is regarded by the Canadian army as
a German attempt to draw out infor-
mation. It is an old (lodge in war-
fare' to put out claims so that your
opponent might undertake to correct
them -and thereby disclose exactly the
information you want.
iI`he Canadian navy is sticking to
its policy •-that all information regard-
ing losses of Canadian ships and loss-
es inflicted 6n the enemy should -be
given by thenaval minister, Mr, 'Mac-
donald, and no one else. If the Cana-
dian navy sinks a U-boat, one might,
ask, why • should it not immediately
issue a communique and let the peo-
ple at home know that it has scored
a success? There are easily under-
stood reasons for not announcing
losses or successes.
If the Canadian navy attacks and
hits .a U-boat, it is seldom able, to get
a message back to Germany, even if
not isudk. If Canada gave the loca-
tion of such an `attack, the German
admiralty would krjow immediately
